GLOW FISH TRANSGENIC SPECIES
  1. PROS
    1. environmental peaceful, doesn't cause any harm
      1. Increases the fish market - (cost about 2-3$ to make and sell 5-6$)
        1. easy to reproduce because they their decedent would carry that gene
          1. can communicate the scientist when water is polluted
            1. With itself had fetched additional qualities
            2. CONS
              1. Humans aren't allowed to consume GloFish
                1. The GloFish cannot survive in cold waters (their habitat is in tropical waters)
                  1. Risk of exploitation
                    1. Disturbance of genetic information
                      1. The following countries: Australia, Canada and Europe ban the commercial marketing of GloFish because they're GMOs
                      2. TECHNIQUE
                        1. Glofish are a type of transgenic zebrafish that have been modified through the insertion of a green fluorescent protein (GFP) gene. There are several GFP genes that code for the different colour phenotype.
                          1. Fluorescent glofish are bred to protect environmental pollutants. Scientists can determine when a the waterway is contaminated.
                            1. HOW IT WORKS fluorescent colour is produced by a fluorescent protein gene. gene goes into the genome of the embryo, the developing fish will pass on the same genes to its offspring.
